Here's how much water you need to ensure weight loss

When starting a weight loss plan, we are often told to drink enough water. To enable the detoxification process of our body, it is important to hydrate to ourselves. This is because of all the junk and unhealthy foods that we have been eating prior to this have got stuck in our body and have made us gain fat and weight at the same time. To get our blood flowing, we need enough water.

Water is essential due to many factors during weight loss, the first being that many of us eat food when our body is actually asking for water. Our tendency to ignore our thirst for water is the biggest reason to why many of us gain weight. In this process, we not only gain weight but also ruin our health since our organs are not getting enough water to function properly.

The second reason as to why water is essential is because water is needed to transport the nutrients of our food to all parts of our body. This happens when we drink a good amount of water and the blood flow of our body is good. This will ensure that we remain healthy and it shows in the way our metabolism works.

The third and the final most important reason for drinking water is to also suppress our appetite for unhealthy foods. When we start having enough water, we are not getting rid of our hunger for foods but rather cravings at odd times.

As per studies, you should drink 1 litre for every 20 kilos of body weight. For example, if you weigh 60 kilos, your body requires 3 litres of water on an average. Do not overdo this. If you over hydrate yourself, this may lead to the major amount of potassium loss in the body which can lead to weakness and lethargy.
